Behind the design
“When we were testing an early prototype, one of our coworkers said it looked like a cute robot spitting out dominoes. So they drew a face on it. From then on, the domino machine had a face!”
By the numbers
Domino runs set up for testing: 460
Gears prototyped: 8
Most dominos toppled in a single run: 150!

Grandson LOVES it!

It is a Christmas gift for my grandson. I'm sure he will have alot fun with it.

Had great fun playing with the domino machine with my grandchildren who are 5 and 3; it’s great for encouraging motor control and coordination for young ones. I added a bit of glue under the rubber bands on the big wheels as they kept coming off. Also added a strip of cardboard in the domino channel so the dominoes don’t twist as much, the wobbly ones were sometimes knocking down the whole line of dominoes before we could!
